When he hasn’t been sitting on the bench on Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals this year, Judge Pat DeWine has been campaigning and meeting Ohioans all across the state. He’s visited all 88 counties – many more than once!

“I really enjoy getting out and meeting people, hearing their concerns, and explaining how important our legal system is to their everyday lives,” says Judge DeWine. “It is critical that we have a supreme court that is fair, that respects the Ohio and U.S. Constitutions, that applies the laws as they are written, and that does not legislate from the bench. This approach will result in a safer, freer, more prosperous state in which Ohioans can live, work, and raise a family.”
